Yeah!!! We're in Sunny Sydney!!! Touched down on Thursday night. We rented a car for one day and decided on a whim to drive up to Newcastle to visit Paul. Here we go on the road once again... Smiley driver EVERY single time we go on a road trip, we end up going through a navigational nightmare (perhaps because I am the navigator?) Arrrghhhh!!! We're LOST!!!
